hi,
i run Avast in my computers at office it works pretty well.I am wondering if sysmentec would be better.I just want a second option for security purpose whether I should keep Avast or go with Symantec.Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.
Avast is certainly much lighter (with respect to resource usage) than Symantec. Detection wise, they should both work very well - but it's the details (and the price) that makes the difference.
Avast has a 60-day trial period which is IMHO long enough to get acquinted with the product thoroughly and see if it meets your needs...
Symantec Antivirus (Norton 360) is best by far-From my research, it runs A LOT faster now, so then I am going to get it for my birthday... heh heh heh...
Norton 360 has all the functions you ever wanted, runs by itself-No need to worry except for when you are paranoid (Not exactly) or get a new attachment, download, and run or when you get updates, 99.99% rocks!
I didn't say I was happy with Symantec. And, my registration for it will not run out, as i have a permanent Symantec license. So, it is free for me, forever. Yet, I would like to see if avast works better for me. No reason that having Symantec files on the computer, not running at all, should be a problem for Avast. Avast should fix the problem that it seems to disable itself, if it sees that Symantec is installed, even though totally disabled and not running.
